Polymer materials are one of the major consumption used worldwide. Polymer substances are used in our daily life. The world is empty without polymer consumptions. Polymer manufacturers earn a lot of money from the products. So, to earn more, they should have to maintain the quality of polymer products so that they don’t face any damage. Polymer products are mainly affected by three major factors which are: moisture, temperature and solar radiation. To prevent damage to polymer products, manufacturers test them from different testing scenarios before selling them in the market. Like other testing chambers, One of the beneficial tools for testing polymer products is the xenon arc test chamber. Let us tell you the role of a weathering tester in testing polymer products.

Importance of Weathering Tests

These tests are conducted in laboratories and they provide repeatability in testing results. Moreover, manufacturers can get data on the performance of their products quickly. It allows the manufacturers to launch the new products efficiently of make design decisions. In weathering testers, exact weathering condition is simulated which helps test the products.

The products that are brought to the market without testing can lead to failure of products. The products have unique sensitivity and cannot bear environmental conditions, so it’s important to predict the performance of the products in the local environment before selling them in the market.

Theory of Xenon Testing 

Xenon arc tester is used for testing the resistance of products against solar radiation. Natural sunlight contains three wavelengths which are: Infrared, ultraviolet and visible. If the range of wavelength is shorter then it has more photon energy. More photon energy affects the materials exposed to it.

In the xenon arc test chamber, there is a xenon lamp which is filtered to simulate visible and UV wavelengths. These wavelengths help test the exposure of products to natural sunlight.

Hence Xenon chamber is an effective tool for creating the ultraviolet part of the complete sunlight. This ultraviolet part is created with the help of Fluorescent UV lamps.
